AMAZON ECOPARK Jungle Lodge is a touristic, scientific and educational property, created and directed by a private initiative back in 1991, opening its doors to the public as an Ecotourism Lodge in 1995. Several streams of clear water run through the area. Over 6 miles of jungle trails including un-catalogued species, natural savannahs and creeks enable clients to explore the jungle, observe orchids and giant trees. It is a jungle lodge with 20 rustic bungalows in a preserved forest area with typical regional arquitectural design, with screened windows. Each bungalow has 3 suites (total of 60 suites) with hot shower, fan and air conditioning. It is possible to enjoy nature without giving away your comfort. The lodge has a panoramic open-air restaurant with indian style architecture where up to 120 people can enjoy the delicious recipes from the varied regional cuisine and international dishes. For breakfast: fresh fruits of the season (watermelon, papaya, banana etc), variety of regional fruits juices (taperebá, cupuaçu, açai, graviola etc.), breads, cookies, white and yellow cheese, ham, cakes, French toast, pancakes, jams, butter, coffee, milk, hot chocolate and tea.

A bar, living room, natural pools, massage room, reading room and reception lobby are also part of the social areas.
Close to the lodge is the Primate Rehabilitation Center, a center for primates brought to this local by IBAMA when confiscated from illegal sales and exports. At this location, primates are initially kept in quarantine in order to be evaluated and treated by veterinarians and biologists. After a period of time, primates are reintroduced to the jungle. During the years that this project has been in action, a twice a day food program was developed to feed the primates, (always at 11:00 a/m and 05:00 p/m). During the feeding process, this area is opened to visitors under the supervision of guides and specialized staff, guests of Ecopark Jungle Lodge can observe film and photograph the animals in a total and safe environment.
The Amazon Ecopark Lodge is located at the Tarumã river bank - a tributary of the Rio Negro - in the Amazon Jungle and only 30 minutes by boat from Manaus. All packages include transfers from/to Manaus airport or hotels. Land transfers are operated in air conditioned cars, vans or deluxe buses. The river cruise transfer is operated on board the Ecopark lodge's own regional boats. Transfers are operated 24 hours a day at no additional cost. NOTE: Our eletric power is furnished by two generators. In order to prevent unecessary polution we have limited its running time to the following schedule:17h30 (5:30pm) through 8h30 (8:30am) and from 11h30 (11:30am) through 15h00 (3:pm).
